Subject: RE: Rear mounting or aero bottles I use the Profile Design aero-bottle up front and then have the X-lab Flatwing w/2 bottle holders in the back (each has a rubber band to keep the arms snug against the bottle). I utilize the bottles in the back to replentish the hydration in the front by pouring/squirting the liquid into the aero-bottle. I have found that I drink more consistently utilizing the aero-bottle ... the straw is right there, so it easier to take a drink - as opposed to having to to dig down between your legs or behind you back each time you want to take a sip. You are smart to think about hydration as the temperatures start to climb. I learned the hard way about being dehydrated during my first metric century when I blew up at mile ~64 - ugh! |
